Formatter

I changed formatter from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/$1 to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=$1 after discussion in ruwiki Biology project. New link is more useful, see new: $1=9783 and old: $1=9783. —putnik 11:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Name fluidity

Should P685 really have a single-value constraint? The NCBI taxonomy node does not refer to one fixed name like many other systems.

• While preserving the same NCBI ID, "taxa" entries get renamed and moved.
• NCBI IDs also get merged when two IDs are considered synonymous. When this happens one ID becomes a redirect to the other.
• NCBI IDs can also get un-merged when synonymization turns out to be a mistake.

Instead of cataloguing names, the NCBI system seems to be just naming "buckets of sequences", where the name can change – not unlike how Wikipedia likes to describe "groups of living things".

I propose:

• The single-value constraint should either be removed, or greatly weakened with an constraint explanation that "violations" are often actually fine.
• All NCBI taxIDs should ideally have a "date" qualifier owing to the fluidity. An ID that has been merged at a later date should probably not be directly updated to the new, redirected taxid.
